Dezső Ránki and Concerto Budapest A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Concerto Budapest, resident orchestra of the Liszt Academy, have come up with a concert idea that is unusual to say the least. Their exciting programme comprises two Romantic hits, a contemporary world premiere and a composition by an American composer little known in Hungary. The new work Orchestrion is by László Vidovszky, who marks his 70th birthday in 2014 and is a former student and current professor of the Liszt Academy. After this world premiere there is a significant jump back in time to the world of German Romanticism, and the highly popular Piano Concerto in A minor by Robert Schumann with inspired piano solo care of Dezső Ránki. The concert programme concludes with the ‘Italian’ Symphony No. 4 written by a 24-year-old Mendelssohn in 1833, in a bright and sunny mood appropriate to its name.
